Just a thought here, but it seems that dualistic thinking in which people view themselves as separate from that which is divine, is manifested in mankind through the ego which views mankind as separate from each other as well instead of all one. This appears to lead to judgmental thinking - I'm right your wrong or I'm better than you so I don't have to listen to you leading to arguements and wars. A view in which we all see ourselves as one on the other hand would lead to a view that in Unity to hurt others is to inflict a wound into our own divine soul which is shared by all. This may be oversimplified and is just a spur of the moment thought, but seems potentially valid to understand the spiritual motives driving both sides of this war.
